GETTING MIXED.

1t has been reported for some time
that Ness City business houses were built
on this street or that, on one spot or
another, without any view to regularity
or convenience. Now comes the News
with the following further exhibit of the
conglomorate conundrum condition OF
things in that burg:
Considerable annoyance might be
saved in the future If persons laying adj
ditions to the city would exercise more
care in naming streets. As it is Ness
City has two Fifth streets, while in sever
al instances, when the city becomes a
homogeneous whole, the same street will
have different names, depending on which
side it happens to be. As, for instance,
Johnston street on the west side will be-
come Fourth street when it reaches the
east side. Such things should, and
readily could, be avoided.

power while the Republican party con-
Quoted the government. For four years
of this time the Democratic party was
fighting the government itself. For
twenty years longer its legions kept fairly
within range of the Republican victors.
The Republican party was continued in
national power until the Democrats had
surrendered on the issue OF destroying
by legislation what the Republican party
had accomplished by the sword. That
there is very general disposition over
the country to re-invest with the national
authority the party which made nation
at this time possible. there can be no
doubt. It is true that in the South a
corrupt ballot will rule in 1888, as it has
for SO many years. 1t is equally true
that the great commercial North is as
ready as ever to WELD a free ballot on
the side of the right.
It may be said that the action OF labor
organizations is apt to interfere with any
calculation which can be made now as to
what either of the old parties will accom-
plish in 1888. To this the World SIM
ply says that, from the present outlook,
this agitation is assisting the Republican
party. This party was the outgrowth
of enlightened agitation. It is not afraid
of agitation to-day.

MEETING THE MUGwUMP.

The Washington correspondent OF the
Iowa State Register sends that journal a
statement lately made in public by Col
Isaac I'll. Morrow, a gentleman who was
chairman of the Ohio State Central Dem
ocratic Committee for ten years, in which
Col. Morrow says: 81 never scratched a
Democratic ticket for forty-two years. [
am and always have been a democrat.
/ am not an Office seeker and have no axe
to grind, and am simply saying what /
think. The Democratic party is wrong.
1t is wrong on the tariff, it is wrong on
the sea coast defense, it is wrong In its
treatment of the treasury surplus, it is
wrong in its conduct of the departments,
it is as hypocritical in its civil service
policy, it is as rebelGous as ever. I am
entirely done with it. Cleveland is an
incompetent. He is unsatisfactory to
his party, and yet there is not man in
the party with the ability and the follow
ing to enable him to contest for the nom-
ination of his party in 1888. Cleveland
will be nominated by the Democratic
party sin 1888, and he will be defeated by
Allison, of Iowa, whom the Republicans
are sure to nominate. Cleveland is. no
body. He is an impure man. Allison is
statesman and leader. He is pure
man. He is known to the men of the
country. Cleveland is not Dan
Lamont would make better President
than thousand Cleyelands. The Dem
ocratic party has not one single man
capable of running for the Presidency.
The republican party is coming back
in 1888, and shall help them with my
vote"
Colonel Morrow makes cogent state
n,ent of the present political situation.
The Bourbon Democratic organization
is a power. It is composed largely Of
the non-thinking classes of the country.

Iris alleged the Arkansas river is so

IT is alleged the Arkansas river is so
low that Wichita people have to water
the catfish Of that stream with bucket.
We are not ready to credit this allegation.
In that portion of the Arkansas valley
which extends through western Kansas
enough water has been absorbed by the
earth this spring to ooze into that big
river, and keep it running for months
1t may be, however, that the low stage of
water at Wichita is the result OF the gas
.eous atmosphere of that city causing it's
excessive evaporation.

Closing of the Alice.

Speaking of the closing of the Alice
mine at Butte. the Inter Mountain says
the closing up of the mills and hosting
works, the employment of the necessary
watchmen and the laying off the working
force is an established fact. Mr.. Hall IS
paying off the working force, for the last
time until the salt rate is reduced to 81 80
and the works start up again. About $780,
600 is being distributed and the miners
are receiving their checks with grave faces
but brave hearts. Some of them will
leave the camp, but the great majority
will remain and obtain work elsewhere III
the district. 1t was difficult to tell wheth-
er Mr.. Hall or the miners most keenly re-
eretted the severance of the relations
which have existed between the Alice
company and its employees during the last
eleven wears. In all that time the COM
panv never missed pay day, and during
seven years thereof Mr.. Hall has been IN
charge of the mine. Since the Alice was
purchased by Marcus DAILY in 1877, fit has
paid out upwards of $4,000, 900 in wages,
and for this large amount of money the
miners have returned full equivalent in
labor, skillfully and loyalty performed.
Not few of the men who were on the
first payroll of the company are among
those whose faithful services are reluct-
antly dispensed with now, and it is no
wonder that In parting with his men a
feeling of mutual regard, mingled with
genuine regret at parting and we'll wishes
for the future, should be both felt and ex-
pressed by the superintendent and bis
men. But there is still hope that the
Union Pacific will come to terms, and in
that event all will be lovely again.

The New Cattle Car.

Yellowstone journal: Considerable
interest is being taken by beef shippers
this fall in Streets stable car for the
transportation of live stock, which.
though in use for FIVE or six years be-
tween Chicago and New York, has
only this season been made use Of for
the shipment Of range cattle. The car,
as it's name denotes, is a stable on
wheels, being a stock car thirty-six feet
long and of ordinary width divided by
movable partitions into three box stalls
capable of accommodating seven head
of cattle in each. 1t is fitted inside
with a convenient hayrack, and water
troughs supplied from reservoirs at
tached to the ends of the cars. While
the watering and feeding facilities are
desirable improvement, the main
point on which the popularity OF the
car is based is the box stalls, in which
it is claimed the animals find ample
room to lie down and rest without dam
ger of being trampled on. and by which
the jolting of whole car load of loose
animals into one end of the car on
stopping suddenly is entirely avoided.
The opportunity for rest and the inn
; munity from jamming together saves,
it is claimed, great shrinkage, and
from this one fact the car is growing
in favor with shippers very fast. The
Berry s. Boice cattle company have
used these cars this fall with very sat
isfactory results, also the Pickering
Lewis cattle company, and on Sunday
| last two trains of them were loaded by

Quite Improbable.

A Washington special says: The gen.
eral land office is in receipt of informa-
ton that British syndicate, which is said
to have purchased large tracts of land IN
Iowa from the McGregor Western railway
company, is mercilessly evicting settlers,
the title to the land being in dispute IN
the state courts. A settler writes: "Wom
en- over 60 years Of age, sick in bed, have
been taken by six men and carried out
into driving Storm Delicate women
have had their hands tied with cords till
the flesh was bruised and dragged shrek
ing from their homes. Children have
been born prematurely at the sight OF the
band of evictors. Strong men have been
run down by ruffians on horseback, and
then handcuffed and dragged from their
little possessions. might go on and
multiply instances where the sheriff, with
a writ of election in one hand and Brit
ish contract in the other, gave these poor
people their choice between these two
evils. Affidavits of the cruelty practiced
arc being collected, says this writer, for
use at Washington next winter, and they
will be read in both houses OF congress.
They are expected to create sensation
when the people of the east are brought
fully to realize what the native American
pioneers are suffering at the hands of the
invaders.
